Reasons Why Veterinarians are Useless without Vet Techs - Part 2 

as a veterinarian I totally concur. I lose my pen about 30 times a day, and a file or two. Thank God for staff that saves the day.

I used to be a vet tech. Things vets have said to me: "Does April come before or after May?" (Dr. G really needed to stop picking up night shifts, she was not okay.) "Where's my badge? I can't get the door open." (The badge was on his chest, however, that door was the door to the storeroom, which only our storeroom manager or night storeroom manager could open, with a physical key. This was clearly stated on a poster that hung on eye level on the door...a foot in front of his face.) "Do you think we could fit a llama in Exam Room 12?" (This was sadly not a rhetorical question; a farmer had brought his llama, Judith, in to our clinic and that vet had told the receptionist to put them in Room 12, which was approximately 10 foot by 10 foot. The lead vet tech turned shades of red I've never seen before when she yelled at him for being an idiot.) "How does this thing work again?" (In reference to our blood centrifuge. That she had used 4 times already that day.) "Wow, you smell!" (I was covered head to toe in diarrhea, on my way to the emergency shower. Thanks, Captain Obvious) "Does anyone smell something weird?" (The dog was covered in pepper spray. Our eyes were watering, we were coughing, and we were getting covered in the stuff. All 3 techs needed a change of clothes, it was so bad. Yes, we could certainly smell something weird; it was all we could smell for the rest of the day.) I do not miss that job. Vets are the smartest dumbasses you'll ever meet.

As a healthcare worker, I can say human doctors are the same. I practically had to lead them by the hand, lol.

Once worked with a vet that couldn’t set up a fecal test, but could do the most complicated surgery. It’s true, the advanced degree pushes out basic or simple info from the brain.

"Just go do doctor things, I'll figure it out, okay?" IF I HAD A FUCKING DOLLAR....!!!!!

Vet Tech for almost 12 years now, pretty sure I've said most of these things to the Vet before! Also, you forget the all important, NEVER let a Vet trim nails! It will be a bloodbath and there may be toes missing by the end.

We ask my BIL that weekly if not daily. So smart, but also a wee little infant who is helpless without ppl keeping track of him when in reality he’s a 52 year old man with 4 degrees and a law license

If I had worked for a Veterinarian like you, I might still be a tech. Ten years, zero appreciation, no living wage, no benefits.... I could go on. Thank you for showing technicians appreciation ♥️

My Dad has been a lab tech for decades. Completely different industry, but yeah....he put out so many fires....some of them ALMOST literal fires.

Wish human doctors appreciated their staff or had a sense of humor. Love your videos

Pretty sure doctor has adhd, we recognise our own 😂

ER vet here. This is all true. 😂

Your brain only has so much space & advanced degrees push out common sense. 😂

And this is why we need both kinds of people!

As a vet assistant, Tom is my spirit animal

"How can you be so smart and so dumb at the same time!?!" WOW. I felt so called out by this comment.

"Just go do doctor things!" Lmfao

You're funny! Most doctors would never have enough self-awareness or sense of humor about themselves to post something like this. It's refreshing! (NP here).

THANK YOU for showing how it really is & being so pleasant about it!!!!😄 Unfortunately my experience with veterinarians wasn't that pleasant! High Intelligence does not mean they have common sense!!!😃 & I've also discovered people & animals (mainly pure bred dogs) can be extremely intelligent but extremely dumb at the same time..... Isn't nature fascinating!!!😄

a Different Booze bottle in each video... should we be worried?

Ah yes, the feeling when you walk into a room with an 80 lb dog growling in the corner and the vet (and owner) just look at you and wait. Or worse, an 8 lb cat 😂

My sis is a vet tech, she dun take no crap from vets. It's not good cos that attitude is rubbing off on me and i work in corporate 😒

My mom is a vet tech qnd utterly loves your videos

I do vet tech education now because I'm too old and busted to do medicine anymore. I tell all my students that if they want their jobs done effectively, efficiently, with minimal mess, to never let the DVMs do a single thing. I still remember the "helpful" vet who was trying to set up some fluids for me. I appreciated it. I really did. But 500mls of D5W on the floor later...

These made me chuckle as a former tech in a specialty hospital - as a nurse practitioner in hospital medicine, the dynamic is definitely different since we all work independently as we round on patients

This works into my theory that human and veterinary medicine attracts the gifted ADHD kids, cause there's so much to learn, and continue to learn, you can't get bored- but also why a lot of them have yeeted the boring information after the exams or never took it in in the first place. Also hyper fixation on subjects that are totally obscure and uninteresting to many :P

I’m getting ready to start my Vet Assistant internship and these videos are just amping up my excitement!

This is incredibly accurate for human surgeons too. 🥰 I say that with love and slight frustration.

You are hilarious! Thank you for the funny and informative videos :)

So true, in so many fields. Scary 😮

Thought I would fall off my chair laughing.

0:31 and with impeccable comic timing, YT decided to buffer after the question - legit had to check it wasn't a 'Vet.exe has crashed' meme 🤣

"Just lucky I guess" positively sent me. Are we not all Tom? 😂😂😂

Tom is a hero.😂😂😂

OSHA is afraid of Tom - LOL!

I felt the subcutaneous fluids struggle

Doc needs to share some of his whiskey with Tom

If someone wants to become a Vet Tech and they only have their general education associates degree- what steps should they take to become a Vet tech?

🧡

Try working with human doctors and highly qualified nurse managers. 😵‍💫😳😠🤪

So. True. 😂

Always makes me 😅

AND VET ASSISTANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Neurodivergent side-eye 👀

I’ve met so many people that are highly intelligent but, lack any common sense or social skills.

More evidence for my theory that doctors can't read

😂🤣

😂😂😂😂

When all else fails, talk shi+ about the women. Ha. Ha. Ha. *eye roll*

😂
